Racing series Round 1.<br />
Pics by Glenn Foley<br />
“For riders, by riders”. That’s the message<br />
passed across at the start of this new series<br />
for <strong>2022</strong>. We were invited along by the folks<br />
from King Price and BMW Motorrad to come<br />
and have a mooch around and watch the<br />
action.<br />
Raceday at Redstar raceway was a perfect<br />
sunny Saturday - and it has to be said that it’s<br />
been a long time since we’ve seen such a great<br />
turnout of both teams and spectators.<br />
Redstar is such a cool venue - everything is<br />
central with easy access to the pits and it was<br />
literally rocking with happy, smiling faces all<br />
ready to hit the track.<br />
It was so cool to wander around the pits, meet<br />
and greet old - and new friends and just soak<br />
in the fumes of competition.<br />
Sure, the new bikes are always impressive<br />
- and there was no shortage of those, with<br />
guys like BMW Motorrad and The King Price<br />
Extreme teams putting up great displays -<br />
but wander along to the pits out back - and all<br />
the older 80’s bikes are lurking about being<br />
tuned and warmed up for the racing. And to<br />
watch those guys scrap is something to see.<br />
Clint Sellar on his Fireblade really was a class<br />
act on the day - he opened up Fridays first<br />
session with a mind-blowing lap of 1:50. 7<br />
which is the first sub 1:51 lap ever for a inline<br />
4 cylinder motor motorcycle ever recorded at<br />
Redstar.
